Our capabilities

Manufacturing & Warehousing Capabilities

We have industry-leading technology with over 1.7 million square feet of manufacturing space and 700,000 square feet of warehousing space across 10 North American production facilities. Our high-speed and specialty production lines are capable of 300 units per minute, up to 900 million units annually. Our manufacturing facilities offer 54 production lines with the flexibility to efficiently execute multiple line changes daily.

We store products for distribution in over 700,000 square feet of warehousing space with product tracked by an innovative SAP-based inventory management system that simplifies order planning and fulfillment. Due to our volume capabilities, warehousing is like second nature to us. We maintain a world-class warehousing system that accurately and efficiently moves hundreds of thousands of units a year.

All PLZ products are manufactured in the USA and meet rigid quality control standards. Every ingredient used is approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Cans are hermetically sealed, tamper-resistant and packed to meet official U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

Technical Capabilities

Our technical capabilities are informed by decades of experience in research and development, and the documentation and regulatory matters that accompany the work. Our enterprise-wide utilization of SAP allows manufacturing data to be accessible across all locations. We have the flexibility to produce goods between any of PLZ’s 13 manufacturing locations. We maintain more than 40,000 bills of materials (BOMs) or blue prints for each finished product.
